Thanks so much for reading. It's amazing what our forebears went through. And how so much of it was never talked about within the family. Every life contains a whole world.
And I just want to add, thank you, and rest in peace with the ancestors, Eric Harold Steele, who did the research into the archives on which this post and the poem are based, and who died this week, aged 82. (05/10/1942 - 06/05/2025)
A fascinating story about your ancestors Beth. I enjoyed reading and visualising it.
